Psalm 23

(A modern indigenous paraphrase by Dr JR Norwood)



He who rules over all, also cares for me and provides all that I need
He causes me to be at rest in peaceful places
He leads me on the pathway near quiet waters
My soul is refreshed as he stands me up well
He guides me to walk in a good way that He may be seen in me

Even when danger is all around, I have no fear in my heart
Because you walk with me
I am comforted when I see you carry your war club and spear

You spread out a feast for me
So that my enemies see it
You pour out your favor upon me
My heart is full
Truly your goodness and love shall be with me all my days
And I will make my home in the lodge of the Creator always
